Neither Edifier R1850DB nor Edifier R2000DB were recommended by experts this month
On 10 Jan 2025 (11 months ago) we went through 99 Studio Monitor expert endorsements , however neither Edifier R1850DB nor Edifier R2000DB were included in any of those recommendations. Since neither Studio Monitor received a single endorsement, as far as expert recommendations go, it's technically a tie. We do, however, recommend taking a look at Yamaha HS5 or other critically acclaimed Studio Monitors of this month.
For reference, Yamaha HS5 received 6 endorsements this month, from Hyperbits, Gearank (7 Nov 2024) Music Radar (27 Nov 2024) and 3 others.
